Getting first and final value from 2D associative array in php

Question

I have an array like this in php

Array ( [0] => Array ( [month] => April-2014 [total_booking] => 2 ) [1] => Array ( [month] => May-2014 [total_booking] => 5 ) [2] => Array ( [month] => June-2014 [total_booking] => 25 ) [3] => Array ( [month] => October-2013 [total_booking] => 1 ) [4] => Array ( [month] => July-2014 [total_booking] => 4 ) )

i want to get the first month value and final value from this array. i am using foreach() for doing this .without using for each is there any good option?

You can get the last element of the array using it's key. In your example they are number, integers so you can just count the array and use the result -1 to get the latest key

echo $array[count($array)-1]['month']; echo $array[count($array)-1]['total_booking'];

array_shift($array); returns the first value from array

array_pop($array); returns the last value from array

And modifies the original array. That should be noted.

for that you could create a temporary array

Another way:

$first = reset($array)['month']; $last = end($array)['total_booking'];
